An instruction buffer register is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that temporarily stores instructions fetched from memory before they are decoded and executed. It acts as a staging area for instructions, allowing the CPU to quickly access and process them in the correct order. The instruction buffer register helps improve overall system performance by reducing the time it takes for the CPU to retrieve and execute instructions.

It is employed to hold temporarily the right hand instruction from a word in memory..

For example, The IAS machine's basic unit of information was a 40-bit, so that two instructions could be stored in each 40-bit memory location. Each instruction consisted of an 8-bit {operation code} and a 12-bit address.

Hence the IBR (Instruction Buffer Register) is used to temporarily hold Right hand instruction for the next use.
